Buchanan Galleries Celebrates the Season of Giving with Festive Family Fun

The magic of Christmas has arrived at Buchanan Galleries with a heartwarming line-up of festive activities taking place throughout November and December. 

Embracing the season of giving the Glasgow shopping centre has once again partnered with Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity for its much-loved Christmas pop-up shop. Guests can browse a range of unique festive cards and small gifts while enjoying live performances from local school choirs hospital groups and community ensembles. The charity’s popular gift-wrapping service will also be back from Friday 12 December offering perfectly wrapped presents for a suggested donation of £3.

Adding to the festive magic the centre’s Santa’s Grotto will officially open on Saturday 6 December in partnership with Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. Families can meet Santa and his elves share their Christmas wishes and capture a keepsake photo. Little ones will also be able to write a personalised letter to Santa and pop it into a dedicated post box whilst enjoying an array of arts and crafts activities opposite the Grotto.  

Ahead of Santa’s arrival visitors are invited to snap a selfie on Santa’s Throne and share their #BGMerryMoments on social media.

Admission to the Grotto is free with an option to make a voluntary donation to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. All proceeds will help fund life changing projects and services at Scotland's busiest children's hospital The Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.

Alongside the charitable activities Buchanan Galleries has welcomed a host of new independent and seasonal retailers including Och Vegan Hunky Dory Loose Spirits Calendar Club and Heritage Accessories. Scottish streetwear brand Baireatelier will also be joining the festive line-up this November offering premium t-shirts hats jumpers and accessories.

A magical line-up of Christmas events is also available at John Lewis & Partners at Buchanan Galleries. Visitors can enjoy exclusive fashion beauty and home design masterclasses perfect for discovering seasonal must-haves and transforming your home into a festive wonderland; get creative in wreath-making and Cricut workshops crafting personalised jumpers mugs cards; or join Santa at his Tea Party with The LEGO Group where children can enjoy stories cocoa festive treats and receive a special LEGO gift to take home.
